Through our ongoing partnership with ArtReach GW, we hosted our first Make and Take: The Art Journal workshop. Participants made their own journals and learned methods for incorporating art journaling and art therapy into their daily routines.

The Risa Fund and Artreach GW celebrate the inspiring works of art that were created during recent Art Therapy Open Studio sessions. Led by registered art thereapist Katherine Tucker, ATR, the sessions promote art-making as a tool for wellness, self-awareness, insight, and community connection.

The Risa Fund was a proud sponsor of a one-day conference on the unique mental health needs of emerging adults. Conference attendees included hospital-based physicians, community physicians, residents, fellows, medical students, psychologists, psychiatrists, guidance counselors, social workers, and other members of the healthcare team interested in adolescent and emerging adult mental health.

The Risa Fund continues its support of the 11th Street Bridge Project by funding wellness programs designed to connect the mind and body through movement. These FREE and family-friendly programs include "Transformation Tuesday" fitness classes and "Saturday Play" games and classes.
